Anyone had any success welding cracked engine blocks?
The picture is of a 305 Chevy marine engine block that was frozen and cracked from lack of proper storage. My brother-in-law and I changed it out with a replacement this weekend, but I hate to discard it if it can be repaired.
What procedure would you recomend for repair? Brazing came to mind , but I am quite green when it comes to this type of repair, so any comments would be of use.
We will,of course ,disassemble it to check for any unseen damage.
